DANIEL RAY – LOFTY EP (EYEPATCH RECORDINGS)

Popular remixer on Eyepatch Daniel returns with the wonderful two track “Lofty EP”. Daniel spreads his expertise over many genres with deep house and chill out being his most active genres. Today we see him with his deep house mode in full effect!

“Lofty” intros with classic deep style, a chunky kick with hats and a nice tom drum percussion with added FX. A cool steady rhythm is built up and in comes some deep toned xylophone sounds which adds a brilliant layer to this vibe. The track picks up the pace with many more instruments adding to the cacophony of sound, super tight arrangement and a cert to be picked up on many playlists.

“Lengthways” takes on a more upbeat approach, an amazing kickdrum is backed up with a truly awesome percussion section that will hook you in right from the start. Strange spacey type pads add an eerie feeling and are contrasted by some soft short piano melodies. This sound progresses and borders on prog itself with a deep deep bassline and quality FX, very well constructed.
